Ontario County Arrest Records

Under New York's Freedom of Information Law, Ontario County arrest records are generally public unless an exemption applies under state or federal law. Nonetheless, Public Officers Law § 87(2) allows custodian law enforcement agencies to withhold or redact certain types of information that, if disclosed, would interfere with law enforcement, invade privacy, reveal confidential investigative techniques, or endanger public safety.

Under New York law, the publicly available elements of an Ontario County arrest record include:

• Arrestee's full name
• Age
• Gender
• Physical descriptors, including weight, height, eye color, and hair color
• Booking details (e.g., custody status, custody status date, booking date, jail location, and reporting agency)
• Charges filed against the person
• Bail and bond information (if applicable).
